I won my 60's group with a 4(3), tied in my Middle East also with 4(3), lost in Movies with 2(2). None of these topics are really my strong point, though I'm liking how varied the Middle East questions are. It all feels really tough to defend so far, though.

Is the smith for the 1960s mini-league, OkrentD, the noted baseball maven and author of the book on the Prohibition Era featured in the Ken Burns documentary on the subject?

I'm playing this mini league and it looks like it's going to be quite challenging.

I won MD1 of the 1960s ML with 1 correct response. I suspect that's the type of difficulty level I can expect.

I won yesterday with 3 correct. I'm hoping that's not my high water mark!

Surely no secret around here that the 1960s is a personal wheelhouse, especially music. (Watch, they'll be few, if any, music questions.) I got 5 right, including 2 educated guesses (birth control pill, Tour de France), yet missed what was apparently the easiest question (troubles.... and it still doesn't ring a bell). Jean Nidetch was an instaget, as my mom was a very early on WW member. Somehow I neglected to register for the Movies Images quiz... ah, well, time is tight anyway.

"The COMPLETE GUIDE To Republican Ethics: tRump Edition" is right ===> here

One unforeseen issue is that doing all three of them at once, I sometimes get confused about which mini-league I'm trying to answer. For example, I'll be trying to answer a movie question and get stuck on thinking it needs to be a '60s movie. Self, close a tab once in a while.

I was one of the 23% who missed "troubles." I said "struggles." Fortunately, my opponent zeroed me on it.

I figured to do OK in that one, too. I had a RTFQ moment: "Irving Stone, Charlton Heston... Must be The Agony and the Ecstasy. And that was about... Michelangelo, that's right!" So, what do I put down? Michelangelo, no title. Bah! Still, I got a zero for that question so no problem and a 6(3)-3(2) win. Having heard Carl Djerassi speak on several occasions, no way was I missing Q1, but couldn't pull where I'd heard of Jean Nidetch before. Today I'm up against some unknown LLama CorriereC who seems a bit too young to have any firsthand knowledge of the '60s.

I missed being alive in the 1960s by about half a year, so I can use that as an excuse of my performance on that ML is poor.

Ditto, but also I'm having the complaint that people had about the TV ML -- the questions have been fairly short with no real clues to get them if you don't just immediately know them. If I don't know stuff, I'll take my beating, but the relative lack of puzzles makes them less fun.
